Part 17/20:
Transformation efforts must consider both internal biological systems and external social constraints. For example, internal drives—such as hunger or the need for social bonds—must be satisfied for well-being. Simultaneously, external societal expectations shape behavior, favoring norms that promote cooperation and mutual support.
A functional personality integrates these layers, creating a cohesive, adaptable self capable of navigating complex social and natural environments. The hierarchy involves aligning internal systems with external demands, all while maintaining the capacity for moral growth and self-awareness.
